  • Michael Connor
  • 20th July 2009
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)


Stuart Macintyre tells it like it wasn’t: “There were no mandarin agents of the KGB here, no moles burrowing deep into the establishment, just fervent men and women recruited when the Soviet Union was an Australian ally to provide it with their limited knowledge of Cold War plans.”

In a previous article I discussed the revisionist attack on the history of Gallipoli and the role it has played as the central component of the Anzac tradition in Australia. I pointed out that this campaign is explicitly being undertaken by the intelligentsia and the Left as we approach the twin centennials commemorating the outbreak of the Great War in 2014 and the Gallipoli landing in 2015.

By changing the text of her PhD thesis for her best-selling book on the Tasmanian Aborigines Lyndall Ryan turned modern "part-Aborigines" into "Tasmanian Aborigines".

Gallipoli: Second Front in the History Wars

  • Mervyn F. Bendle
  • 1st June 2009
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

As 2014 approaches there will be a resurgence, intensification and expansion of the already vigorous debates about the war as historians, intellectuals, ideologues, politicians, veterans’ organisations, community groups and laypersons continue to come to grips with the meaning of this titanic struggle.

The Fabrication-Deniers

After analysing this case in detail in Washout, I concluded that: “Ryan’s instinct for self-exoneration is never too shy to spin her own failings off as her adversary’s culpability.” It is disturbing to discover that she is not the only professor willing to employ this extraordinary strategy.

Historical Revision versus Holocaust Denial

  • William D. Rubinstein
  • 1st December 2008
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

Holocaust deniers, apologists for the gulags and for Japanese atrocities—these are but minor demons compared with His Satanic Majesty, Keith Windschuttle, who is repeatedly compared by Tony Taylor, in all seriousness, to David Irving, a characterisation both absurd and defamatory.

Stuart Macintyre and the Blainey Affair

  • Keith Windschuttle
  • 1st October 2008
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (0)

Convincing Ground: an invented massacre

  • Michael Connor
  • 1st December 2007
